Apple Crusted Salmon with Prosciutto
Serves 6
1 1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup orange juice
2 1/2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped chives
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 apples, thinly sliced
6 6-ounce salmon portions, skin removed
6 slices prosciutto
Extra-virgin olive oil, for the pan
1/4 cup loosely packed brown sugar
Prepare marinade by whisking together apple juice, orange juice, honey, mint, chives, salt and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Slice the apples into rings as thin as possible. Place sliced apples into marinade and let them marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of two hours.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Sprinkle entire surface of salmon lightly with salt and pepper. Remove apples from marinade and place them carefully on salmon, shingling them from one end to the other. Sprinkle brown sugar over apples and wrap a slice of prosciutto around each piece of salmon.
Roast for approximately 20 to 25 minutes. When finished, pour juices from the roasting pan over fish before serving.
